Meanwhile, the Twitter account of Yavuz Bekdemir reveals that Tarkan has taken time out to go and watch Tony Bennett sing live tonight at Istanbul's Harbiye, as part of this year's Istanbul Jazz Festival.

"I'm at Tony Bennett's concert. To my left is Tarkan. The concert is amazing. Tarkan is more humble than I could have ever hoped. There should be more like [him]," Bekdemir tweets.
